The Enterprise Network is proud to announce the release of our second real estate app! To ensure our members remain competitive in the mobile market, our in-house Mobile Department recently released a real estate app targeting the IOS market. Keeping usability at the forefront of design, our first iPhone app was developed using common Apple UI constructs that are already intuitive to Apple users.
One of the main goals for this mobile release was to get customers to a desired location within the app in as few steps as possible. As a result, we streamlined the design and combined navigation t... MORE

I recently posted an introduction to our “Real Estate Syndication Compromise“. Named from the notion that we, as the brokerages, are willing to contribute our content to the syndication sites that end up outranking us, making them the first point where users begin their search, in return for an easy flow from their site to ours when it is that content that the user is looking for.
I was excited to look at the data to see if our strategy yielded any results and while hopeful I did not know what to expect. The results were significant and though only a week has passed th... MORE

Last summer, I had the privilege of attending MozCon 2012, the official SEOmoz annual conference. There were so many great sessions, tips, strategies and actionable takeaways (I will definitely be back this year).
For me however, by far, Wil Reynolds stole the show. Outside of his great enthusiasm and magnetic personality, he provided a necessary caption for the entire SEO industry:
Do Real Company Shit!
We often all get lost in optimizing for the latest target Google throws at us, and as such (as a whole) we often over do it. When Google indicated that inbound links were an important... MORE

Syndication has been a heated topic in our industry for quite some time now. There have been many perspectives and different reactions to the evolution of the syndication business model.
For the purpose of this post lets focus on two aspects. Firstly the ideal purpose of a syndication site, which we believe to be an outlet for extra exposure that leads more traffic to your site (similar to any advert). Secondly, the SEO race which syndication outlets are dominating since imposing the “no-follow” link structure back to our sites.
Since most searches start on Google, having syn... MORE

Last December, The Enterprise Network decided to do something a little different. We provide technology for many brokerages and agents in the industry, but in order to keep improving that technology we need a better understanding of how they’re using it. More specifically, how real estate agents are using it.
We surveyed over 500 realtors in our network. The survey questions ranged from topics like mobile technology, social media and lead management. What we found out is pretty interesting. So interesting, that we decided to make it the focus of this year’s Blog Swap. You can re... MORE
